Answer:

Determinant are special number that can only be defined for square matrices.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determinant are particularly important for analysis. The inverse of a matrix exist, if the determinant is not equal to zero.

How to find determinant

For a 2×2 matrix

det ( \left[\begin{array}{cc}x&y\\a&z\end{array}\right] ) = xz-ay

For a 3×3 matrix

we first decompose it to 2×2

det (\left[\begin{array}{ccc}k&l&m\\o&p&q\\r&s&t\end{array}\right] )\\\\= k*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}p&q\\s&t\end{array}\right] ) - l*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}o&q\\r&t\end{array}\right] ) + m*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}o&p\\r&s\end{array}\right] ) \\\\=k(pt-sq) - l(ot-rq) + m(os-rp)

Example

Find the values of λ for which the determinant is zero

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}s&-1&0\\-1&s&-1\\0&-1&1\end{array}\right]

det(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}s&-1&0\\-1&s&-1\\0&-1&1\end{array}\right])\\\\= s*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}s&-1\\-1&1\end{array}\right] ) - (-1)*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&-1\\0&1\end{array}\right] ) + 0*det(\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1&s\\0&-1\end{array}\right] )\\\\= s(s(1)-(-1*-1)) - (-1)(-1*1 - (-1*0)) + 0\\= s(s - 1)) + 1(-1 + 0) \\=s^{2} -s-1

Equating the determinant to zero

s^{2} -s-1 =0\\

s = \frac{1}{2} * (1 ±5 )

s = 1.61 or -0.61

Mr. Gurung sold a bicycle for Rs 18,816 and made a profit of 12%. if he wants
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Rs. 23520

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

At 12% profit ; sales price = 18,816

At (12 + 3)% profit ; sales price = x

Hence,

0.12 = 18,816

0.15 = x

Cross multiply ;

0.12x = 0.15 * 18816

0.12x = 2822.4

x = 2822.4 / 0.12

x = 23520

Hence, sales price for a 3% increaa in profit should be Rs. 23520

A square has an area of 561.69m2. Work out the perimeter of the square.
lara [203]

Answer:

The answer is 94.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is a²

So, 23.7² = 561.69 m²

The side of the square is equal to 23.7 m

Perimeter of a square is the side multiplied by 4

So we have that 23.7 x 4 = 94.8 m
